The Columbus Trdflg Rcri.rr edited by
Captain Alfred F.. Lee. has strong edi
torial utterance, the object of which is I,
show that cities that are near coal mines Ar,
better off than those which are remote from
coal fields but have natural gas. IL holds
that the continuance of the supply of nat.
ural gas is not assured. while the supply OF
coal is to be adequate for many years. We
quote as follows:
Suppose the gas should suddenly peter
ouf''-and who knows when it may do so?
what would become OF the gas balloon
cities? What have they 10 fall back upon?
Their industrial lives hang upon a thread
which some freak of Nature may sever in
a moment. Nine-tenths Of the capital
which i being invested in real estate and
manufacturing in such towns is invested
upon pure hypothesis, which may, in an in
slant vanish into thin air.
Certainly, this is possible. for the supply
of natural gas is already falling off IN some
localities about Pittsburg. The editor of
the Reri,,r closes his article As follows:
Ii Columbus were supplied today with
natural gas a. copiously as Findlay is, We
doubt very much whether our manufactur-
els would put aside their coaEbuming ap-
paratus with any assured expectation that
il would never be needed again. Gas
i good thing while il lasts. bat
suppose it don't last? Who can meas
ure its quantity, or give Us cer-
tam and tangible proof of it, reliability
We know enough of our coal resources 10
b- assured that they are practically mex
hauStible. II Columbus obtains natural
.,as. well and good: and If We do not oh
tain it. well and good again. We can get
along without il, which can not be said of
Findlay or any other gas town"

suplies a. well to Springfield as to C"lrm

HOW TOIIvE A FULL CENTURY.

Professor Humphrey of Cam
bridge has prepared a series of
tables which contain some interest
ing information about centenarians.
OF 50 persons whom he mentions, at
least LIP males and 6 females
actually attained the age of 100.
Others attained very nearly to the
100 years. Only one of the persons
reached 1903 years, while one died
at the alleged age of LOG. OF the
52 persons, Sc we're women and l6
men. Professor Humphrey tells us
that the comparative immunity Of
women from the exposures and risks
to which men are subjected and the
greater temperance in eating and
drinking exhibited by women are
the chief points in determining their
higher chances Of longevity. Out
of the sc women, 26 had been mar
ried and II had borne large families.
OF the 26 who had been wives s had
married before they were 20, at l6
and 2 at II.
Twelve OF the lifty-two centen-
arians were discovered to have been
the eldest children of their parents.
"This fact" adds DR.. Humphrey,
"does not agree with popular notions
that first children inherit feeble
ness of constitution, nor with the
opinion of racing stables, which is
decidedly against the idea that
'firstlings' are to be depended on
for good performances on the course.
TheIcentenarians, generally regarded,
were of spare build. Govt and rheu-
matism were, as a rule, absent. 1t
seems" continued the Professor,
"that the frame which is destined to
great age needs no such prophylac-
tics, and engenders none OF the pee
cant humors for which the finger
joints Gas in gout) may find vent. !"
OF the fifty-two aged people,
twenty-four only, had no teeth, the
average number of teeth remain
ing being four or five. Long
hours Of sleep we're notable among
these old people, the period of re-
pose averaging nine hours; while
out-of-door exercise in plenty and
carly rising are to be noted among
the factors Of prolonged life. One
of the centenarians "drank to ex-
cess on festive occasions; !" another
was a "free beer drinker," and
drank like a fish during his whole
life." Twelve had been total alb
stainers for life, or nearly so, and
mostly all were "small meat eaters, .

WAS III THE RuHACh2

We have always regarded buhach
entirely innocent of hostility to
human life, but very severe on in
sectivora. But it would seem from
the experience of Mr.. Jesse Hoover
that buhach is not good to smoke.
A few evenings since he burned
some in his house with a view of
encouraging the departure of mos
quitoes, and feeling somewhat stupe-
fed from inhaling the smoke went
out of doors and sat down upon the
doorstep to see If the cool night air
would not revive him, but instead of
reviving he sank into so deep
stnpor that he could not move. Mrs.
Hoover assisted him into the house
and upon the bed. She was greatly
frightened to find him "as cold as a
WEDGE" and it took deal of rub
bling to bring him to consciousness.
The custom of burning buhach to
drive away mosquitoes is very COM
mon and has not been considered at
all dangerous, but Mr.. Hoover's ex-
perience will warrant good deal of
care in the use of that article here
after [Tulare Register.

Civil Code, to wit: any person who
shall be in any way knowingly con-
ccrned in carrying, removing, depo-
sitting or concealing or in any man
ner dealing with any dutiable goods
upon which no duties have been
paid, shall be punished by fine
not exceeding $4,000.
Mr.. Geo. Markham testifies to
having searched the Velocity on the
10th and 23rd of August, and on
the latter date, in the stateroom, 40
to so bottles of samshoo, in the
pantry, 40 straw hats, clock and
4 bags of cigars were found. In the
bulkhead between the pantry and
cabin 40 to 45 bottles of samshoo
and IA bottles of gin were found,
and 120 bottles of samshoo in the
lazerette. The defendant admitted
the goods were his, but said he had
no more. On the 25th 5000 cigars
and 40 packages of China tobacco
were discovered in 2 trunk in the
lazerette.
Geo. Gray, Custom House officer,
corroborated Markham's statements.
The defendant, cook of the Velocity,
claimed that he knew not how to
make an entry and knows not the
laws of this country. He denies any
intention TO CONCEAL the goods. He
sold goods to the crews and passen-
gers during voyages.
Two Chinese, sailors Of the bark,
supported the defendants state
ments.
Capt. Martin, master of the Velo-
city, said that he allowed the cook
to trade, but did not know of these
goods and would have entered them
had he any knowledge of them. He
never saw the cook sell any goods.
THE JUDGES OPINION.
In the opinion of the Judge the
goods were concealed, for after de-
nying the possession of any more,
some 5000 cigars and forty-one
packages of tobacco were found
in trunk, and he never in
formed the captain of these goods.
The law makes those goods dutiable,

GREAT ENGINEERING OPERATION.

The charging of the gateway to
New York harbor across the Sandy
Hook bar is an important event in
navigation. Two great channels are
to be deepened by means of the
hydraulic pump, and are to be wild
ened to 1000 feet. The sand taken
up is carried by tugs to near the
Scotland lightship, and dumped In
sixteen fathoms of water. The
transatlantic steamers will be able
when this is completed to run direct
ly up to the New York dock without
waiting for high tide. New York's
supremacy as a commercial centre
is said to depend on deepening her
harbor and permitting ships to APP
proach without delay. The work is
expected to be completed by Janu-
airy. The cost will be hardly less
than million of dollars. IT is one
of the most gigantic operations in
civil engineering that the world has
seen.
